    Hey 😊

    Welcome to the house of happiness! Here you'll find the peace and quiet of the countryside and the warmth of the South.

    Tavel is a pretty wine-growing village with local shops: grocery store, bakery, pharmacy… The region is very popular with tourists. We're 1 hour from Mont Ventoux, Les Baux-de-Provence, Marseille, and Montpellier, 30 minutes from Uzès and Nîmes, and 20 minutes from Avignon and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. There are many walks to enjoy in the area, and bicycles are available.

    I like to live simply and be mindful of what I eat.

    During my sommelier training (November-March), I may be away a few days a week, and I would appreciate some company and affection for my cat, Beanie, who is very cuddly and also independent (he spends part of the day outside).

    I guess it’s better if you like to spend a time alone, discover the touristics places so it’s better to have a car but you have a daily bus from the village to Avignon.

    ===========

    Hey 😊

    Bienvenue dans la maison du bonheur ! Ici place au calme de la campagne et la chaleur du Sud.

    Tavel est un joli village viticole avec des commerces de proximité : épicerie, boulangerie, pharmacie… La région est très touristique. On est à 1h du Mont Ventoux, des Beaux-de-Provence, de Marseille et Montpellier, 30min d’Uzès et de Nîmes, 20min d’Avignon, Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Beaucoup de ballades à faire dans le coin, vélos à disposition.

    J’aime vivre simplement et faire attention à ce que je mange.

    Pendant ma formation (novembre-mars) en Sommellerie, je risque d’être absente quelques jours par semaine (du lundi au jeudi soir ou vendredi soir) et j’aimerais une présence et de l’amour pour mon chat Beanie qui est très câlin et aussi indépendant (il est une partie de la journée en extérieur).

    Je pense que c’est bien d’avoir une personne autonome qui n’a pas peur de passer du temps seule et qui souhaite faire de la randonnée ou découvrir la région, donc véhiculée ! Il y a un bus depuis le village pour aller à Avignon.

    I need you to do is give the cat more kibble, open the door for him, and cuddle him when he asks for it ☺️

    🔨🎨 Then i need you to a few work on my house like remove paperwall and painting

    ===========

    Il faudrait remettre des croquettes au chat, lui ouvrir la porte et lui faire des câlins quand il le demande ☺️
